Injera
A large, flat crepe-like spongy bread, injera is a staple source of carbohydrates in Ethiopia. Traditionally made out of teff flour, injera is gluten-free and high in iron. Eating with your hands is a standard practice in Ethiopia. The injera soaks up the juices from the dish and pieces are torn off to scoop up bites.
We will finish the meal off with Buna (ቡና ), traditional Ethiopian coffee.
